In this class, we will be creating fun, interesting, functional, exciting projects that will teach you new techniques and enhance your embroidery skill level. All levels are welcome.

JUNE - FALL CUTWORK NAPKIN

Years ago, people purchased cutwork needles, which were basically blades. I wanted to have a class that used the cutwork (needles) blades that people had purchased and would like to know how to use. I am sad to say, these needles (blades) are no longer available except maybe through eBay or Etsy. This design is a cutwork design that has been re-digitized for use with cutwork needles. Of course, if you do not have cutwork needles, you can cut out the pieces very carefully by hand.

The class will also be making our own hems with mitered corners using a wing needle and using your favorite hemstitching stitch.

I look forward to sharing this technique with you.

• Embroidery machine in good working order with hoops and power cord
